Looking at the MACRO Big Picture, this doesn't look so bad. But that 300 point drop in 1929 must have been frightening as hell.

Losing 2-3000 feet of altitude when you are flying at 30,000 feet might make you lose your lunch, but losing that much altitude when you are only flying at 4000 feet might make you DIE of fright.

What can we do?

BUt I am looking at it like a ride on a sled down the mountain side. I can't see the cliff ahead, the sharp rocks, or the Ice Cave Monster holding Luke hostage with his feet frozen in the ceiling.

I am sure Han will come around if anything happens and keep us all warm by gutting the nearly frozen corpse of the country.

WEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! This slide is FU-UN!

it never sucks to have a ton of money. rich people might have lost 10% of their wealth but they still have a lot more than most americans and a lot more than everyone else in the world.

eat the rich, the world will not be free until the last priest is strangled with the entrails of the last politician
